43 ft YOUNG SUN CUTTER
We purchased Moonshadow in 1999 from the original owner
who had her custom built in Taiwan. Since then we have
replaced or rebuilt all the systems on Moonshadow and added
everything one would ever want or need on a true bluewater
cruising boat. All you need to bring is your personal gear,
purchase provisions and you will be ready to go cruising.
